[Taxacom] Biodiversity Heritage Library timeline

[Mary Barkworth]

That's fun. Thank you. It is probably also useful and significant - I
can even imagine a few uses myself - but for now simply thank you for
creating a new toy and making it available. 
On the same note, thank you who to whoever it was brought the wordle
site to the attention of the list. I have been playing with the names of
authors applied to names of grasses that have been found in or reported
from North America north of Mexico. With about 33% of the plant names
in, the top ten authors are:
Linnaeus	392
Scribner	285
Vasey		246
Hackel	197
Trinius	185
Steudel	165
Kunth		154
Schultes	129
Nash		128
Hitchcock	123
P.~Beauvois	113

Some of the above - but not Linnaeus -  would increase their
representation if I were to decombine joint authors. Before and after ex
are considered separately. There are 967 different name strings in the
list at present.
